Document Summary
A full expression of rights requires a liberal democratic welfare state which can guarantee civil, political and social rights to its membership. His understanding of citizenship is that when rights are valued to all people, their commitment to duties increases. Civil rights necessary for individual freedom (ie, freedom of speech, association) Political rights necessary for political action (ie, voting) Social rights necessary for general welfare (ie, basic economic security) Such as why we pay taxes, we believe everyone should have the basic social services. Been under attack by the new right-they argue by giving these rights automatically to all citizens is problematic. We can cut costs if we cut on people who don"t contribute back. Passive citizenship will create underclass people with all rights but no responsibilites. All rights should fall automatically to citizens. Once the benefits ran out they were cut loose (didn"t work) Marshall: equality of status is more important than equality of income".
